I have wanted to like herring in any form for years, but a bad experience from a cart in Amsterdam many years ago has left me hesitant. I recently spotted a small jar (8 oz) in sour cream, which I have read is the best way to ease into liking it, and decided to pull thee trigger, for better or worse.
Not really sure how to go about it, I decided to treat it like I do smoked salmon, which I love. I spread a little cream cheese on toast with some capers and onions.
Then I applied some herring, said a prayer and dug in.
The bottom line: It wasn't bad. It wasn't offensive, but it remains to be seen if I ever crave it. It also remains to be seen if I ever finish the jar. I give it a week and a half and it's going in the trash, empty or still half full.
